More than 30 years after starring together in silver screen flop Sliver, Sharon Stone and Billy Baldwin are recalling unhappy memories about making the movie.
In an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Stone named former Paramount Pictures chief Robert Evans as the producer who pressured her to have sex with Baldwin to improve his performance. Evans died in 2019.
Stone told the story in her 2021 memoir, but declined to name those involved. That changed this week, as she recalled her time on Sliver in her interview with Theroux.
“[Evans is] running around his office in sunglasses explaining that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because [then] his performance would get better,” Stone said.
“If I could sleep with Billy, then we’d have chemistry on screen and save the movie. The real problem was me because I was so uptight, and not like a real actress who could just f*** him and get things back on track. The real problem was I was such a tightarse.”
Stone argued that she did not have the same problem with Michael Douglas, who she starred alongside in Basic Instinct the year before Sliver’s release.
“I didn’t have to f*** Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up,” she said. “Now all of a sudden I’m in the ‘I have to f*** people’ business.”
After seeing the comments, Baldwin — brother of Alec — posted on Twitter (now X) about his recollections of working with Stone. He alleged that he implored Evans to choreograph a sex scene so that he did not have to kiss Stone.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sharon Stone surprised fans in January when she revealed on Instagram that she tried and failed to pitch a “Barbie” movie in the 1990s, decades before Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie would make their own “Barbie” movie to the tune of $1.4 billion worldwide (the highest-grossing film of 2023) and eight Academy Award nominations.
